Ellen & Dan tie the knot at the Inn at Cedar Falls!

This past weekend, we packed our bags and headed for the Inn at Cedar Falls in the Hocking Hills for Ellen & Dan's wedding weekend. I knew as soon as we drove up that this would be a wedding of a different kind!

Friday evening, Ellen and Dan welcomed their guests with dinner (ribs and chicken on the grill--can't go wrong with that!) and drinks on the restaurant's patio. Saturday were the non-traditional ceremony and reception, catered to fit this couple's personality (modern music during the ceremony, pouring a Black & Tan together instead of a unity candle, an intimate dinner setting instead of traditional first dance, bouquet tossing, etc.). Following dinner, Ellen & Dan invited everyone to change into some comfy clothes and join them outside for a bonfire, complete with beer and s'mores of course! And what a great way to end the weekend on Sunday with a farewell breakfast with blueberry pancakes and bacon.

This was our first time to the Inn at Cedar Falls, despite having visited the Logan area at least once a year for as long as Brian and I have been together (back to the college years!). We were thoroughly impressed with the venue--from the rustic character of the inn and lodge to the gorgeous grounds to the delicious food, it was easy to see why Ellen and Dan chose this place for their big day...er...weekend!
